To guarantee a smooth operation, it is important to follow the guidelines in this manual. The manufacturer of this device will not accept responsibility for damages resulting from the misuse of this fixture due to the disregard of the information printed in this manual. This device falls under PROTECTION CLASS 1. It’s essential this device be grounded properly. Only qualified personnel should perform all electrical connections. C A U T I O N S KEEP THIS FIXTURE AWAY FROM RAIN AND MOISTURE! UNPLUG POWER BEFORE SERVICING FIXTURE! NEVER TOUCH FIXTURE DURING OPERATION, IT MAY BE HOT! NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LIGHT SOURCE! SENSITIVE PERSONS MAY SUFFER AN EPILETIC SHOCK! • For proper operation, follow the Installation guidelines described in this manual. Only qualified and certified personnel should perform installation of this fixture and only the original rigging parts (brackets) included with this fixture should be used for installation. Any modifications will void the original manufactures warranty and increase the risk of damage and/or personal injury. • Never look directly into the light source of this fixture to prevent risk of injury to your retina, which may induce blindness. Those suffering from E P I L E P S Y should avoid looking directly into the light source of this unit at all times. • The fan and air inlets must remain clean and never blocked. Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between this fixture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling. • Always disconnect from main power source before performing any type of service and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, never pull out the plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord. • Do not operate this fixture if the power cord has become frayed, crimped and/or damaged. If the power cord is damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of similar power rating. 7 PRO FS 15R FOLLOWSPOT™ User Manual Ver 1 www.elationlighting.com GENERAL GUIDELINES • N E V E R O P E N T H I S F I X T U R E W H I L E I N U S E ! • During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time. • This fixture is a professional lighting effect designed for INDOOR / DRY LOCATIONS ONLY on stage, in nightclubs, theatres, etc. • Please make sure there are NO FLAMMABLE MATERIALS close to the fixture while operating, to prevent any fire hazard. • The fixture must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 1.6 feet (.5m) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure no air ventilation slots are blocked. • DO NOT attempt installation and/or operation without knowledge how to do so. • DO NOT permit operation by persons who are not qualified to operate this type of fixture. Most damages are the result of operations by nonprofessionals. • Consistent operational breaks may ensure the fixture will function properly for many years to come. • DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture. • Use only the original road case to transport the fixture in for service. • DO NOT TOUCH the housing bare-hand during its operation. Turn OFF the power and allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before replacing or serving. 8 PRO FS 15R FOLLOWSPOT™ User Manual Ver 1 www.elationlighting.com DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING This fixture is fitted with a DISCHARGE LAMP, which is highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled. NEVER touch the lamp with your bare hands, as the oil from your hands will shorten the life of the lamp. Also, NEVER move the fixture until the lamp has had ample time to cool. Lamps are NOT covered under warranty conditions. Avoid switching the fixture ON and OFF repeatedly in short intervals, as this will reduce lamp life and intensity. To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a high-pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp MAY EXPLODE DURING PROLONGED EXTENSIVE USE. This risk is increased with age; added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Thus, the lamp must always be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle. Extreme caution should be used when operating this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp. U V R A D I A T I O N N O T I C E This fixture emits intense UV radiation, which is harmful to the eyes and skin. The intense luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina. NEVER operate this fixture with ANY of the protective covers removed. These covers have been specially designed to shield against UV radiation. L A M P R E P L A C E M E N T Please note that due to the nature of the Phillips™ Platinum 15R Lamp and the optical path of the Elation PRO FS 15R FOLLOWSPOT fixture, the lamp MUST BE replaced at 2,000 hours. Use only Genuine Original Phillips™ Platinum 15R Lamps. Other brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty! 9 PRO FS 15R FOLLOWSPOT™ User Manual Ver 1 www.elationlighting.com FIXTURE OVERVIEW 10 1.

Use only Genuine Original Phillips™ Platinum 15R Lamps. Other brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty! INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE LAMP To ensure a proper/safe lamp change, carefully read all the following instructions. LAMP RATED LIFE Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Phillips™ Platinum 15R lamp and the tight nature of the internal optical system, it is IMPERATIVE that the lamp be replaced every 2,000 Hours. This is done to protect the internal optical system as well as prevent accidental lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass particles falling from the fixture. FAILURE TO CHANGE THE LAMP AFTER THE 2,000 HOUR RATED LIFE, MAY CAUSE INTERNAL DAMGE TO THE FIXTURE! LAMP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • ALWAYS replace lamp every 2,000 Hours. • Use only Genuine Original Phillips™ Platinum 15R lamps. Other brand lamps may cause damage and void the warranty! • NEVER touch the lamp with your bare hands, as the oil from your hands will shorten the life of the lamp. • Always disconnect the fixture’s main power supply before replacing lamp. • Allow fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before attempting any type of service. • Make sure ALL covers/panels are replaced/secured before operating the fixture to prevent any risk and/or damage to eye retina from UV Radiation exposure! 11 PRO FS 15R FOLLOWSPOT™ User Manual Ver 1 www.elationlighting.com LAMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Remove (3) screws marked “A”, “B”, and “C” on the rear cover plate (see image below) and then remove the plate to access the lamp. 2. Carefully remove the (2) RED WIRES connected to the lamp base. 3.

LAMP OPTIMIZATION Unlike traditional discharge lamps the Phillips™ Platinum 15R PRO Lamp does NOT require optimization. The lamp orientation and optimization procedure has been preset during the manufacturing process of the lamp. Please remember the Phillips™ Platinum 15R PRO Lamp is NOT a hot-restrike lamp therefore, you must wait approximately 15 minutes before you can attempt to restrike the lamp once it has been turned off. 13 PRO FS 15R FOLLOWSPOT™ User Manual Ver 1 www.elationlighting.com FIXTURE INSTALLATION FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING Keep fixture at least 5.0 ft.

CLEANING Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics. • Clean the external lens surface at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation. • Never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia based cleaners. MAINTENANCE Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life. There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture, please refer all other service issues to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local Elation dealer. Please refer to the following points during routine inspections: • A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating. • Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall. • Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s). • Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable. 17 PRO FS 15R FOLLOWSPOT™ User Manual Ver 1 www.elationlighting.com TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES 5° - 10° Manual Zoom 13,500 Total Lumens (5) Dichroic Colors Including CTB plus White (4) Manual Gel Frame Holders Variable Color Temperature Settings (3,200K - 6,800K) SOURCE Phillips™ MSD Platinum 15R Lamp 2,000 Hour Average Lamp Life PHOTOMETRIC DATA 10,770 LUX 1,001 FC @32.8’ (10M) (6° Full On) EFFECTS Iris and Framing Frost Smooth Dimming (0-100%) CONTROL / CONNECTIONS (4) Push Buttons (2) Faders (Dimming + Color Temperature) powerCON In SIZE / WEIGHT - Followspot Length: 42.0” (1068mm) Width: 14.9” (376mm) Vertical Height: 10.0” (255mm) Weight: 52.0 lbs.
